The following orchids do well with a low level of light, easily attainable with two to four fluorescent lights or LEDs with equivalent light intensity or on an east-facing windowsill:

 Paphiopedilum (not including strap-leaf multiflorals)

  Phalaenopsis

 All orchid seedlings

Many orchids can be grown at considerably higher light levels that are recommended if they’re gradually adapted to this higher light intensity and are in a well-ventilated area. Why would you even try this? Plants grown in higher light intensity tend to grow more compactly and can produce more flowers.

Be sure to ask the grower about the temperature, light, and humidity requirements of the orchid you’re considering. Check out its ultimate size. Then match this information with what you know about your orchid growing area.
